I’ve been a curator over at eBay for over a year now. It is one of my favorite gigs–but also one of my most dangerous. It’s VERY difficult to browse eBay for the best and coolest stuff without inevitably buying a bunch of stuff too, which is why I’m really excited to announce today that I’ve had the opportunity to put some of those late-night purchases to good use…I worked with eBay on a series of videos highlighting some of these goodies for the holidays. The first one that I’m sharing today is about a little something that I bought for Ida on eBay and how I wrapped the gift to make it, and her little face, light up.
Check it out!
Here’s how I made the twinkling prezzie for Ida:
What you need:
Battery operated twinkle lights
Clear, plastic box
Tissue paper
Glittery gold ribbon
Faux Butterflies
What to do:
I tucked battery operated twinkle lights in a clear, plastic box and wrapped the gift in some thin pink tissue paper. Then I garnished the whole thing with glittery gold ribbon and some sweet little Butterflies. I can’t wait to see the look on my daughter’s face when she receives her twinkling prezzie!

Ah, what a fun way to package up gifts for kiddos (holidays or year-round!). And the video — so, so good!
thank you sweetness!
Such a clever and cute way to wrap gifts. I can’t get enough watching you! You’re inspiring.
Magical! My little one might even be more excited about the wrapping than the present ;-)
Amazing!! I love it! Way to think outside and inside the box ;)
Oh my goodness- so magical! What a creative idea! Love seeing you in this video too- keep them coming!

I feel 5 years right now. and I want this box so badly. Ida is one lucky girl.
Oh my Justina you’re so beautiful! And such a role model and I really loved the way you wrapped the binoculars.

I loved, loved, loved everything about those videos!! Totally gorgeous and inspiring – the presents, your house, you. So nice to “see” a fave long-time blogger, you know? So great, Justina – amazing work!
awww you are way too sweet. Thank you for always taking the time to stop by and leave a few kind words—they always mean a lot!
So sweet! “Everyone is profoundly creative.” I couldn’t agree more :)
Justina, that is the coolest wrapping idea I’ve ever seen! And from one curly-haired girl to another, your hair is gorgeous! (Can I ask what you put on it? :)
